RnilrOnd ExtenAiOm.

An exchange contained the follow
ing:
The scheme of railroad extension in
the San joaquin valley, and in the
southern counties, so long talked of,
is gradually assuming definite pur-
pose. As rapidly as the work can be
done number of liHes will be sent TO
those points in the State where rapid
ly dev.o Ing indu. u.tries require great
or transportation facilities. The
Southern Pacific Company, keenly
alive to the necessities of the people
in this matter, has formulated gene
raj system of railroad extension
meant to meet all the present require.
ments of the public. The plans. as
now outlined, contemplate in the first
place, the rapid extension of the road
up the east side of the San
Joaquin valley; the completion
of the Sacramento and Stock on roa !
through TuIare to junction with the
Sou hern Pacific at Posal, with rddiat-
ing lines from Modesto, Merced. Fres.
no and Herndon. A represent tive OF
the Alta yesterday, in an interview
with Fred Crocker, was informed also.
that the work on the Sacramento road
would be pushed through to Placer
Vile as rapidly as means and men
could accomdlish it. The company
was additionally urgent to get through
with this line, so that the large body
of men employed on it could be trans
ferred to the southern counties, where
ontemplated projections are in abey-
ance on account OF the difficulty in
procuring labor to carry them an.
This was especially in respect to
the Santa Barbara and Templeton
road. where tunnel Of over a mile
and a quarter would have to be bored.
In speaking of this Mr.. Crocker ex-
pressly disclaimed the truth OF the re-

Coming Here.

The Chicago, Rock Island and Pa

road last summer, and it has lately

comirg to this colst in two different
directions. During this year the COM
pany ran its lines through some OF he
very best portions OF Kansas, and this
work is to he pushed and extended in
such a manner that will give it an
independent route to Fort Worth and
one to Denver. A line was recently
built from st. Joe, Mo-, to Buckland,
Kan, by the way of Harrington in the
same State, which is 34S miles in
length. From Harrington line was
built through Wichita to Caldwell.
Kan. a distance of I23 miles. 1t is
from this latter point that az exten.
sion is to he made to Fort Worth, Tex.
through the Inlian Territory. At
Fort Worth connection will he made
with the Texas and Pa'ific ro d,
which runs to Ell Pdso and connects
with the Southern Pacific.
Another line was built from Horton,
Kan, to Nelson, Neb., 207 miles, and
it is this bran h that is to be extended
next summer in an alno.t straight
line to Denver, with the ultimate oh.
ject of coming right throug" Colorado,

En the sam joaquin vai.ey.

Little doubt seems to exist in rail-
rold circles that the general purpose
OF Mr.. j. r. Wilbur's late Eastern trip
was to conclude negotiations with the
Atehison, Topeka and Santa Fe people
for the guaranteeing Of the San
Joaquin valley bonds. 1t is generally
believed by railroad men that the
Santa Fe Company is backing up the
valley route with view to its purch-
a-e hereafter, They alone, it is said
have any interest in the matter ii the
Southern Pacific is expected, whose
object would probably be only the
ultimate suppression of formidable
rival. The line would form q very
practicable outlet from Mojave TO this
city for the Santa Fe Company.
Mr.. Wilbur states that satisfactory
progress-at the rate of one mile and
"a quarter OF grading per day-is being
made. This may possibly be dimin-
ished during the winter, owing to the
weather, but already fifty miles have
accomplished. The line parrellels the
Southern Pacific for u stretch between
Lake Tahoe and Hills Ferry. 1t is
thought that 1t will be connected with
the Atlantic and Pacific within two
years and that San Francisco will
reap the benefit OF the absorption OF
competitive lines.
Mr.. Wilbur denies that the Santa
Fe Company has any connection with

Some Japanese Ways.


Tel ne something about social life
in Japan, said the reporter. First Of
all. have you any dudes over there?"
Tomati at first did not catch on. :"
but understood what the scribe meant
when fashionable young men" was
substituted for dudes He remarked that
the swell young men in the city OF To-
kio had their clubs like Europeans,
where they went to pass the time.
Everything European and American, ]"
he said. lis considered the height of
fashion in Japan among the high
toned people. Three years ago the
sack-coat was all the rage. The mass
OF people, however. wear the Old-time
costumes. European dress is adopted
in the army and navy, by courtiers, and
by the police"
The reporter i'll the course of con-
versatlon elected other interesting data.
Japanese young men of fashion visit the
girls just as they do in this country,
take them out to restaurants, and fill
them up with ice-cream. They have
balls and parties where waiizing is in
dulged in ad libitum. The waltz. how
ever. is recent innovation, but it Is
liked by the japanese exceedingly. The
costumes of the ladies in Japan are
more in consonance with the drcss-re-
form movement than those of American
and European girls. First of all no
corset is worn. The long silk sash sup
plies the place of steel and whalebone.
This sash Is wrapped round and round
the waist loosely, and the ends hang
down behind. There is no large. elab-
crate bow pinned against the back, like
those seen in the representation of the
"Mikado" on the stage.
Some of the ultra-fashionable girls of
Toxic, however. have adopted method
OF making their waists look smaller ac-
cording to the European modes. but no
corset is used-simply 4 belt buckled
around the waist.
The ladies are fond of picking the
strings of the banjo. and arc up to the
times in fashion which has been
greatly In vogue among American girls
Japanese girls pretuly attire them
selves in much the same underwear as
American women. but their stockings
are built more on the order of mitten
for the hand, there being separate re-
ceptacle for the big toe.
A very curious fact the reporter
CLEANED from the interpreter was this:
The Japanese think that all Europeans
have very old types of faces. -Baiti-
more NeUS.
